The xorg driver you downloaded from PPM, not sure which one you are talking about?chopstyx wrote:thanks for your help, did another fresh install, downloaded the xorg-driver via ppm and followed the instructions in the link above.
i cannot find an entry-box in the xorgwizard/choose-dialog, so after selecting radeon from the list, xwin refuses to start and i have to revert to the vesa-driver. i'll stick to that for the time being...
one more thing: why would i need 200mb space on my save-file for the abovementioned procedure?
edit: yes, the first time 'round it was the xorg high-driver via quickpet
You have found that the Radeon driver will not work for your video card. You have to try another. With ATI cards, it does get to be a treasure hunt to find one that will work.
Very important that you follow the second part of the directions to install video driver after you try one. Very important that you remove old driver you have installed before trying new driver.
You could try a driver from the forum section drivers in Additional Software (Pets & Stuff)
(Xorgwizard now shows a list of drivers when you select choose, but older versions have an input window).
The 200mb space free in the save file is just a general figure to make sure there is enough room in the save file to download the new driver and install.
You will have a downloaded pet file and then it will be expanded and install to Puppy Linux. Some drivers can take up a lot of space.
